I'm one of those slash writers who's forever debating on what to do about canon love interest. It's extra hard with a female character I like or when the canon het ship actually works.
I've never liked a character because of bashing. I generally don't mind bashing even if it's about my fandom fave, maybe that's why.

I don't mind character bashing in the sense of sometimes we all just have that character/ship people won't shut up about that drives us up the wall and we need to have a space to vent about it. But I don't agree with bothering fans of the character/ship with it. As long as someone isn't being toxic with their thoughts and constantly bothering other fans that like the stuff they don't then they should be able to express them, even if those feelings aren't positive sunshine and rainbows all the time. It can be very, very frustrating to not be allowed to have an opinion because "you can't openly dislike something other people like you'll hurt their feelings!"

I'm sort of the opposite of this OP though. Sometimes a character/ship I'm neutral on or dislike but rather passively will turn into a character/ship I actively loathe because people won't stop talking about it or trying to get me to like it. Every fandom has at least one of those character(s)/ship(s) that are almost impossible to avoid regardless of if you like it or not. And for people like me it's hard not to become more and more averse to something I feel is being pushed on me. But being a reasonable adult I don't lash out about it and just do my best to ignore the things I don't like.

Though I will say (especially as someone who ships M/M, M/F, and F/F) it's baffling the amount of hate M/F ships get for being boring/straight/het. As if the rivalry isn't between a particular ship but the genders in the pairing. I don't get it at all. It also erases bisexual and trans fans and characters who would fall into the M/F category as well because the reason I've seen them bashed is that they're "heteronormative". Ugh. Just let people ship whatever the fuck they want.

ayrt
Definitely agreed on people expressing their negative opinions. As long as it's tagged.

Yeah, sometimes juggernaut pairings start to get on one's nerves, I feel this.

I'm guilty of having higher standarts for M/F, and can count het pairings I actually actively ship on one hand. Not sure exactly why. I'm a bit jealous of people with more diverse tastes -- they have more fic to read.

Sometimes it feels like some people are not aware of bisexuality being a thing, I swear. Like a character can be either straight or gay with nothing in between. And no one even writes about trans characters or headcanons in my fandom circles.
